How bad is it out there?

Been scaffolding for twenty seven years, running my own company since 1998.
Never been as busy as I am now.

Prices aren't fantastic, but if you can find continuity, and have honest hard working lads with you, it is possible to pull through this bad spell were going though.

I will also take this opportunity to publicly thank all the lads that work for me (I know a few of them are on the forum) for all their hard work and long hours in the last few weeks. It is very much appreciated.

yo didnt work in west cumbria thats what my gaffer exact saying :laugh::laugh:
 
Any company is only ever as good as the men it employs . but also it takes good management to win work and provide constant decent work for the lads .
 
True, there is plenty in London areas at the moment, but as others have said rates are crap, and a lot of this is temporary work.

Still, it's a **** / inexperienced scaffolder who doesn't recognise that nine times out of ten, If you pay monkey money then you get a monkey job"!
